I am lucky enough to still have my mother. She did a very good job of keeping a balance. Sometimes you need a mother and sometimes you need a friend and I am glad she had the wisdom to know when was appropriate.

Both, and neither. She was a really good mother until she got married, then she was my worst enemy for multiple reasons. Now she's more like a sister than anything - we don't always get along, fight all the time, love each other to death, and don't live together but miss each other greatly - because she knows she has no parental authority over me any longer, and hasn't for years. But I do miss my mommy.

She is more like a mother. a very good mom and a strong person. raised her kids well. but i can't tell or share how i feel with her as i would with a close friend. she has her own way about looking at things..her own opinions. and she gets angry if i show that i disagree or voice my own thoughts about something. i avoid saying stuff that i know will start an argument. my close friends know and understand me better then my own mother. its been like this all these yrs even now when i am an adult. its ok..even though some times it upsets that i can't express my self to my own mother; i am grateful to God for giving me a loving mother.
